I don't smoke so it doesn't affect me but why didn't Obama remove it from schedule 1 list when he was in? Everyone had to know that eventually someone would start enforcing the federal part of the law again.

From what I remember the FEDs went after shops that were operating outside the state laws. Obama used discretion on enforcing the over all Federal ban, which is why so many shops in legal states didn't get raided.

states rights only matter when it benefits conservatives. like guns and hating on the gays and transgender.

how does tossing the decision to the states make it hating on gays and trannies?

now excuse me while I claim to be a black woman and go to open a minority business...

also, the Federal law is already on the books, thus it should be enforced or the law changed. The consistency everyone is looking for is right there. Laws that are on the books are being enforced. Want to change the law, go for it. Until then he's going to consistently enforce our laws.

Oh that's such a waste. It's just like alcohol except with way less overdose deaths. Tax it, sell it, profit! Why not? It grows in the ground naturally...

My take on it....one drug off the list so LE, DEA, etc can you know, worry about the actual bad drugs. Lots of money and resources burned to nail that massive shipment of pot. resources better put to more dangerous stuff really.

Not even going to go I know a guy....I found weed to be at some levels as alcohol really. effects, proper use, etc. Proper use as an example. Would I as a reasonable person do shots galore or down a 6 pack 6 hours before work? No. Would I operate a car drinking? No. Pot was the same way. make pot rules like alcohol...and this is SSDD across government and private sector policy wise really.

What I am not getting here is the starting of mixed signals. trump in the campaigns seemed to be state rights. You know the good old republican "big government" hysteria thing.

It's going to be amusing to watch multiple state AGs file lawsuit and drown the DOJ in legal material. Which is what they said they'd do. Meanwhile, there's more deaths each year from opioids and OTC drugs such as Tyelnol and Advil.

More like continuation of mixed signals. Trump had them his entire campaign. Now that he is starting to get a cabinet he says one thing and his cabinet members say another, which was something predicted would happen. And here we are in a state of chaos because the guy at the top is off his rocker.

“In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state. … Marijuana is such a big thing. I think medical should happen — right? Don’t we agree? I think so. And then I really believe we should leave it up to the states.” Washington Post, October 29, 2015

“I’d say [regulating marijuana]it;s bad. Medical marijuana is another thing, but I think it’s bad and I feel strongly about that. [Moderator: “What about the states’ right aspect of it?”] If they vote for it, they vote for it… But I think, medical marijuana, 100%.” C-SPAN, June 23, 2015

In 1990, Trump said he favored legalizing all drugs, “We’re losing badly the War on Drugs. You have to legalize drugs to win that war. You have to take the profit away from these drug czars.” Miami Herald, April 14, 1990.
